New Publication of Miquel Àngel Essomba

The book provides an overview of the dimensions, determinants and implications of religious diversity in schools and educational programmes, so it makes a potentially significant contribution in different fields:

1) in strata of political-educational exercise, supporting the design of inter-religious educational spaces in societies with composition of heterogeneous identity;

2) in the level of educational action, contributing to the reprocessing of practical thinking from theoretical guidelines--pedagogical, organizational and curricular associated with inter-religious school construction; and

3) at the status of educational research, providing consistency theories underlying educational performance in environments of religious diversity.

The book is not available in Spanish yet, as a book with multidimensional approach, it has the following themes: for the first time, it presents a collective work with a global view, and encapsulates the challenges posed by religious diversity planted in educational settings.
